The BN_from_montgomery function in crypto/bn/bn_mont.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8e and earlier does not properly perform Montgomery multiplication, which might allow local users to conduct a side-channel attack and retrieve RSA private keys.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003, when time restrictions are in effect for user accounts, generates different error messages for failed login attempts with a valid user name than for those with an invalid user name, which allows context-dependent attackers to determine valid Active Directory account names.

SpamAssassin 3.1.x, 3.2.0, and 3.2.1 before 20070611, when running as root in unusual configurations using vpopmail or virtual users, allows local users to cause a denial of service (corrupt arbitrary files) via a symlink attack on a file that is used by spamd.

The random number feature in Linux kernel 2.6 before 2.6.20.13, and 2.6.21.x before 2.6.21.4, (1) does not properly seed pools when there is no entropy, or (2) uses an incorrect cast when extracting entropy, which might cause the random number generator to provide the same values after reboots on systems without an entropy source.

** DISPUTED ** The ipv6_getsockopt_sticky function in the kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Beta 5.1.0 allows local users to obtain sensitive information (kernel memory contents) via a negative value of the len parameter. NOTE: this issue has been disputed in a bug comment, stating that "len is ignored when copying header info to the user's buffer."

The SymTDI device driver (SYMTDI.SYS) in Symantec Norton Personal Firewall 2006 9.1.1.7 and earlier, Internet Security 2005 and 2006, AntiVirus Corporate Edition 3.0.x through 10.1.x, and other Norton products, allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by sending crafted data to the driver's \Device file, which triggers invalid memory access, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-4855.

VMware Workstation 5.5.3 34685, when the "Enable copy and paste to and from this virtual machine" option is enabled, preserves clipboard data on the guest operating system after it was deleted on the host operating system, which might allow local users to read clipboard contents by moving the focus back to the host operating system.

VMware Workstation 5.5.3 34685 does not immediately change the availability of a shared clipboard when the "Enable copy and paste to and from this virtual machine" checkbox is changed, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information or conduct certain attacks that are facilitated by weaker isolation between the host and guest operating systems.

xterm on Slackware Linux 10.2 stores information that had been displayed for a different user account using the same xterm process, which might allow local users to bypass file permissions and read other users' files, or obtain other sensitive information, by reading the xterm process memory. NOTE: it could be argued that this is an expected consequence of multiple users sharing the same interactive process, in which case this is not a vulnerability.

umount, when running with the Linux 2.6.15 kernel on Slackware Linux 10.2, allows local users to trigger a NULL dereference and application crash by invoking the program with a pathname for a USB pen drive that was mounted and then physically removed, which might allow the users to obtain sensitive information, including core file contents.

The writeFile function in core/smb4kfileio.cpp in Smb4K before 0.8.0 does not preserve /etc/sudoers permissions across modifications, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information (/etc/sudoers contents) by reading this file.

BEA WebLogic 7.0 through 7.0 SP6, 8.1 through 8.1 SP4, and 9.0 initial release does not encrypt passwords stored in the JDBCDataSourceFactory MBean Properties, which allows local administrative users to read the cleartext password.

The key serial number collision avoidance code in the key_alloc_serial function in Linux kernel 2.6.9 up to 2.6.20 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors that trigger a null dereference, as originally reported as "spinlock CPU recursion."

The NFS client implementation in the kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3, when a filesystem is mounted with the noacl option, checks permissions for the open system call via vfs_permission (mode bits) data rather than an NFS ACCESS call to the server, which allows local client processes to obtain a false success status from open calls that the server would deny, and possibly obtain sensitive information about file permissions on the server, as demonstrated in a root_squash environment. NOTE: it is uncertain whether any scenarios involving this issue cross privilege boundaries.

The GConf daemon (gconfd) in GConf 2.14.0 creates temporary files under directories with names based on the username, even when GCONF_GLOBAL_LOCKS is not set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating the directories ahead of time, which prevents other users from using Gnome.

The procfs implementation in NetBSD-current before 20061023, NetBSD 3.0 and 3.0.1 before 20061024, and NetBSD 2.x before 20061029 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by attempting to access /emul/linux/proc/0/stat on a procfs filesystem that was mounted with mount_procfs -o linux, which results in a NULL pointer dereference.

The accept function in NetBSD-current before 20061023, NetBSD 3.0 and 3.0.1 before 20061024, and NetBSD 2.x before 20061029 allows local users to cause a denial of service (socket consumption) via an invalid (1) name or (2) namelen parameter, which may result in the socket never being closed (aka "a dangling socket").

The save_log_local function in Fully Automatic Installation (FAI) 2.10.1, and possibly 3.1.2, when verbose mode is enabled, stores the root password hash in /var/log/fai/current/fai.log, whose file permissions allow it to be copied to other hosts when fai-savelog is called and allows attackers to obtain the hash.

Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and earlier stores user data with weak permissions under the application directory, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information (address books, calendar files, and todo lists of other users) via unspecified vectors. NOTE: The provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

Unspecified vulnerability in the match_rule_equal function in bus/signals.c in D-Bus before 1.0.2 allows local applications to remove match rules for other applications and cause a denial of service (lost process messages).

Race condition in the __find_get_block_slow function in the ISO9660 filesystem in Linux 2.6.18 and possibly other versions allows local users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by mounting a crafted ISO9660 filesystem containing malformed data structures.

The isdn_ppp_ccp_reset_alloc_state function in drivers/isdn/isdn_ppp.c in the Linux 2.4 kernel before 2.4.34-rc4 does not call the init_timer function for the ISDN PPP CCP reset state timer, which has unknown attack vectors and results in a system crash.

The mutt_adv_mktemp function in the Mutt mail client 1.5.12 and earlier does not properly verify that temporary files have been created with restricted permissions, which might allow local users to create files with weak permissions via a race condition between the mktemp and safe_fopen function calls.

Race condition in the safe_open function in the Mutt mail client 1.5.12 and earlier, when creating temporary files in an NFS filesystem, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files due to limitations of the use of the O_EXCL flag on NFS filesystems.

Race condition in the Xsession script, as used by X Display Manager (xdm) in NetBSD before 20060212, X.Org before 20060225, and Solaris 8 through 10 before 20061006, causes a user's Xsession errors file to have weak permissions before a chmod is performed, which allows local users to read Xsession errors files of other users.

Race condition in the grid-proxy-init tool in Globus Toolkit 3.2.x, 4.0.x, and 4.1.0 before 20060815 allows local users to steal credential data by replacing the proxy credentials file in between file creation and the check for exclusive file access.

spread uses a temporary file with a static filename based on the port number, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating the file during a race condition between unlink and bind function calls. NOTE: spread deletes this temporary file before use, which could cause conflicts with other programs that use the same filename, but this is not a distinct issue.

The fbgs script in the fbi package 2.01-1.4, when the TMPDIR environment variable is not defined, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on temporary files in /var/tmp/fbps-[PID].

Linux kernel 2.6.16-rc2 and earlier, when running on x86_64 systems with preemption enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops) via multiple ptrace tasks that perform single steps, which can cause corruption of the DEBUG_STACK stack during the do_debug function call.

nuauth in NuFW before 1.0.21 does not properly handle blocking TLS sockets, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (service hang) by flooding packets at the authentication server.

Oi! Email Marketing System 3.0 (aka Oi! 3) stores the server's FTP password in cleartext on a Configuration web page, which allows local users with superadministrator privileges, or attackers who have obtained access to the web page, to view the password.

PostgreSQL 7.3.x before 7.3.14, 7.4.x before 7.4.12, 8.0.x before 8.0.7, and 8.1.x before 8.1.3, when compiled with Asserts enabled, allows local users to cause a denial of service (server crash) via a crafted SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION command, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-0553.
